Louis I. Kahn is widely known as an architect of powerful buildings. But although much has been said about his buildings; almost nothing has been written about Kahn as an unconventional teacher and philosopher whose influence on his students was far-reaching. Teaching was vitally important for Kahn; and through his Master’s Class at the University of Pennsylvania; he exerted a significant effect on the future course of architectural practice and education.This book is a critical; in-depth study of Kahn’s philosophy of education and his unique pedagogy. It is the first extensive and comprehensive investigation of the Kahn Master’s Class as seen through the eyes of his graduate students at Penn.

Buy it for the photos of old Little Rock before downtown became a GIGANTIC parking arena. Errors and confusion in the text unnecessarily keep this from being the book it should have been. If you want to read it as a story based on partial fact it is that. However; having lived there; the outright errors and confusion make it unreliable to quote as historical fact. Someone else should have proofread for accuracy before publication...or left it solely as a photograph album.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
